Hello,

as this is a fairly active community we just wanted to let you know that this community is no longer federating with Lemmy.World due to defederation from lemmy.one for lack of moderation.

Our announcement can be found here: https://lemmy.world/post/28173093

We recommend migrating to a community on an instance that is maintained better.

    The main maintainer of this instance and PrivacyGuides, Jonah, was last active on reddit just days ago, but a year ago on Lemmy. Clearly it’s not a priority for him.

    By the way, it’s the same website that scrubbed the section on alternatives to the big tech social networks like Twitter and Reddit, making the wild claim that there’s no practical difference between them and the alternatives. They argued that the public nature defeats the point of privacy, but refused to account for the fact that the amount of personal and other data collected and sold by the corporations is multitudes more than what is collected by the likes of Lemmy.

    So, where do we go? If the allegations are true (and I have no reason to doubt that), I’d like to defederate as well.

        So, I’ll be honest, I don’t understand most of the technical stuff about lemmy. I just know it’s open source, no ads/corpos, and all the individual lemmys can interact with each other like how emails can send emails between gmail and yahoo. But what does defederate actually mean? Like how does it change things? Does it mean that people with the @lemmy.one can’t see the privacy instance anymore? And they have to change their account?

          People with accounts on lemmy.one can’t see posts are comments made on LW communities or by LW users. Same the other way around as well.
